Default 10.5 in the rear, would it fit??

Just dropped the car with l-tuned shock/spring. I'm looking at volk racing sf winning 19x8.5 in the front with +38 offset and i want to try to put 19.x10.5 with a +32 or +42 offset, would rolling the rear fender work fine with +32 offset or would it still rub, i would want the rims to be flush.

The main concern is would i be able to put 10.5 in the rear with 275 or 285 without rubbing with minor fender rolling, the reason is i want a bigger lip in the rear, 9.5 lip isn't to much in the rear, which is why i would like to move up to 10.5 to get a bigger lip, anyone let me know if 10.5 in the rear is possible?

19x10.5 +32 with 275 or 285 tires will rub. But if you play with some negative camber, it will fit in without doing much work...

By the way, your lip size is determined more by your offset rather than the width of your wheel. a 19x8 wheel with 0 offset will still have a much bigger lip than a 19x10 wheel with +42 offset.

Both will work with varying degrees of work. The +42 is the safer bet but even with that offset, you will need to either mod the fender or go negative camber.

i see, i never knew offset had much to do with the lip, soo say if i go 19 x 9.5 with a +32 offset, would rolling the fender clear it or would i need to play with negative camber also.

This setup would be almost exactly what I have, except that mine is 20x10 +38. I shaved the fender up to the trim attachment screw and was able to keep the black trim. No rub with this setup. It does rub if you do not shave, however. I have cuts in my tires to prove it.

I have a feeling it is around +43.

On a 10.5 inch rim, the furthest out offset is +41. This requires complete shaving of the fender lip. Almost down to nothing. Don't roll the lip, just shave it. Do an advanced search and you will find.

If you want a deeper lip, going wider doesn't neccessarily add anything, since those of us with rims wider than 10" already have maximized the offset for a deep lip. At that point when you go wider, it only adds more width to the inside of the rim. I'm running a 20 x 11" rim and the lip is not any deeper than the same rim (with an equivalent "adjusted" offset) in a 20 x 10.

Instead of playing with offset and width, you should be looking by manufacturer and rim design.

I-Forged and Zone offer some new rim designs with very deep outside lips. Just order a 10" rim from them and ask them to optimize the offset and the lip will be as deep as it gets.

Yep I am running 20x9.5 (or was it 20x10 I forgot) with +24 offset in the back and my rear wheels have more lip than most here...

That's like getting 19x9.5 +32. You are goin to need to do a litte fender work. If you are going to do that, getting the +32 wheels would have been a better choice as you are not running with a spacer.

Also, are the Volks hubcentric? If not, do you have the hub centering rings? Gettin a spacer may defeat the hubcentricity. Just be careful with managing the vibrations.

yea, i was thinking about +32, but they didnt have it in stock and didn't want to wait, just decided to get it last night and they had a set so i just took it since i dont really like waiting =X The front is huncentric and has the ring, but the rear doesn't have it. Yea i will be shaving the fender and such, not any time soon though.

I assume the front is hubcentric because of the rings. You should try to get the rings for the rear when you can. Shouldn't the shop have given you some?

Also, although it should be obvious , don't put the spacers on until you are ready to do the fender work.
